Jeffrey is Licensed Professional Counselor Associate under the supervision of Toby Collins, LPC-S. He has a B.A. in English from Andrews Seventh-day Adventist University, and a M.A. in counseling psychology from Southwestern College and New Earth Institute. His approach to counseling is rooted in psychoanalytic, person-centerd, and feminist theories with a core of understanding change begins with awareness. Jeffrey creates a safe and non-judgemental space where gentleness, humor, and creativity are important parts of the process.

Modern psychological practices are an important part of therapy, and are useful guiding principles when exploration of the personal experience is brought into the context of the broader human experience through exploration of the self, creative processes in the counseling session, and the lived wisdom of others brought into the counseling process through works of art, film, or literature. By exploring our own perspectives in relation to the perspectives of others, we attain a broader awareness of our selves and where our processes are working against us. With this understanding, we can change and grow.
